Currently, as this proposal is continuing, this provision <br />would not allow me to test any firearm I manufacture since I would not be able to work with <br />ammunition. I believe what the zoning board was mainly concerned with was the <br />manufacturing of ammunition; would it be possible to consider having the text read the <br />following to clarify this provision? <br />14. No motor vehicle repair, paint or body work; commercial preparation of food for <br />service on the premise; business related to or involving explosives; or manufacturing <br />of ammunition or weapons; or ambulance or related emergency services shall be <br />permitted as a home occupation. <br />The main reason for this concern would be, as a private citizen, would it be permissible to take <br />a firearm that I manufacture to a range and test it? If so, why would I be able to do this without <br />being covered by my business insurance? Or would the testing of any firearm, unless sold to a <br />private parry, not be allowed even at a legal firing range? <br />To summarize, my main question is, would it be possible to have this text addition considered <br />before the end of this amendment at this point, or would I need to wait until the proposed <br />change has finished and then submit a subsequent amendment proposal? <br />Thank you in advance, <br />Connor Mattioli <br />
